I often race others at the track 4-5 seconds slower than me , that last 100 foot or so is pretty fun ..kinda dangerous , I once raced Omni that was 14 seconds slower The lips of fools bring them strife, and their mouths invite a beating.Proverbs 18:6

Average reaction time is 273 milliseconds. In that time you have moved 103 feet. That just how far you have moved before you realize something is there. Then you start to react. Half a second (?) to get off the gas an onto the brakes, another 189 feet. Now we are at 292 feet from the time you saw something till the time you touch the brake pedal. Meanwhile that deer doesn't even have time to know you have headlights much less give you that look. It may be legal to do those speed on the Autobahn, but legal doesn't preclude stupid. Not saying I've never been stupid on the highway, but I can say I have never been that stupid, lack of ability lol.

So assuming he was still traveling well over 200 MPH at the end when he took his hands off the wheel, how far did he travel with his hands off the wheel?

We may have more land, but I'm pretty sure we also have far, FAR more idiots on the road (you ever watch the videos where an idiot will come to a complete STOP in front of a Semi barreling down the freeway?)

I can pretty much guaranty you that transports will be leap frogging in the two right lanes and an old oriental female will be doing ten under the limit in the left lane - where its her God-given right to drive!

That car is really stable tho it seems - especially considering the distance he drove at that speed. Amazing machine! Ride eternal, shiny and chrome

"the guard rails looked like a picket fence"............[from a song i forget who sang/talked, possibly the same one as above ? ] Hot Rod Lincoln by Charlie Ryan From the Comander Cody version with 8 cylinders instead of Charlie Ryan's 12. Now the boys all thought I'd lost my sense And telephone poles looked like a picket fence. They said, "Slow down! I see spots! The lines on the road just look like dots." Took a corner; sideswiped a truck, Crossed my fingers just for luck. My fenders was clickin' the guardrail posts. The guy beside me was white as a ghost. Kevin
